Nightshade

Red, red, red, red….everything was red…

Such beautiful red…

Cutthroat was true to his name, watching as dark liquid bubbled out from a poor soul's mouth. His latest kill. He indeed loved the thrill of it. He watched life drain out of the hapless man's eyes, choking, shuddering, and then fall onto the ground with a heavy thud, all by his hand.

Doctor watched with extreme interest, arms crossed. Her eyes glazed over as the infamous Akudama ended the life of another human being. Seeing such shimmering blood pool onto the cold concrete made her heart flutter, and an ache form between her legs.

The red-spattered double doors closed behind her, and she held her tools thusly. It was time to get to work. She held life in her hands and crushed it, just as much as he did.

Doctor sauntered over, her heels closer and closer to the warm body, just enough space between her and Cutthroat. She kneeled down, her tools shining in the fluorescent lights above.

Curiosity getting the best of her, she dipped a finger into the pool of such lovely red. He paid her no mind, murmuring to himself, admiring his handiwork, licking his trusted blade with his tongue.

She tasted the blood off her index finger, and she bit her lip, almost moaning in ecstasy. Such a feeling she never tired of, straddling the line of life and death, waning and unpredictable.

Cutthroat took notice of Doctor, and a smile spread on his features. She enjoyed the beautiful red just as much as he did. His hands were coated, inked with crimson. He moved towards her, a playful glint in his eyes, and she did not resist him.

Her hands dipped drenched in the precious fluids, she dragged her lips on his pale mouth, and his teeth nipped on her bottom lip. He lowered his face to her neck, letting out soft groans against her skin, his breath hitching, and her hands clutched into him, closer and tighter.

Doctor kissed the top of his head as she dug her nails in his arms to make him bleed. Cutthroat moaned in pure delight.

Such lifeblood made them feel as they were immortal. They never asked to be damned, but it was closest to death that there ever was.
